Title: In Vitro plant regeneration of Cucumber (Cucumis sativum (L.) from cotyledon and hypocotyl explants
Abstract: In vitro plantlet regeneration has been obtained from 15-20days old seedling cotyledon and hypocotyl segments of Cucumis sativus (L.) were examined using various phytoharmons individually and in combination on Murashige and Skoog (MS) semi solid medium supplemented with BAP (1.0-5.0 mg/L) Kn (1.0-5.0 mg/L),IAA (0.5 mg/L)+ BAP (1.0-5.0 mg/L) and IAA (0.5 mg/L)+Kn (1.0-5.0 mg/L) for shoot proliferation IAA (0.5 mg/L)+BAP (3.0 mg/L) was proved to be best for induction of shoots for cotyledon and hypocotyl explants. All regenerated plantlets were rooted on MS medium supplemented with (1.0 mg/L) IAA the regenerated plants grew normally in the green house.
